[Speakers or Headphones for gaming?]

Headphones all the way, why? My parents bought me a pair of noise cancelation headphones for my 18th and they are great. It cancels out all background noise and sound around you, this allows me to accurately hear where other enemy players are located on the map. By using headphones, your not creating a disturbance by allowing excessive sound out your PC which could upset, friends, family or neighbours. 

[Have you ever cheated in any game?]

Here is why. I'm against it and I've never cheated as a gamer because:

• Cheaters ruin the game and create an unfair advantage to the good players who are competing to win. 
• Cheaters/Modders Team Up with other fellow hackers to take over.
• No challenge is created as you know your going to win.
• It's a violation of a legal contract with the game company.
• It's anti-social
• You are not willing to improve your skills and tactiques

[Hi from Tennessee]

Welcome to VGR!

[Cannot get game to download/install on Xbox One]

Here is my advice and questions. I found this article if it's any good to you

• Do you have enough storage on your platform?
• Have you tried re-booting/resetting your Xbox and/or WiFI? 

Try the following:

1. Hold the power button for five seconds to power down your console.
2. Unplug from your power supply,  everything including your TV
3. Turn power back on in 5-10 mins time.
4. Attempt to re-install games
5. Contact Microsoft!

Try re-installing if no joy, good luck!

[Which features you'd like all games to have these days?]

Here are the features I would like to see in the near future. Let me know what you think:

• 3D/4D Graphics
• 4K Ultra HD Resolution 
• Borderless In-Game Map
• VR
• AR
• Cloud Gaming
• Microsoft SmartGlass
• Compatibility to play across ALL platforms with other online players. 

[Are you a mobile gamer?]

I don't identity myself as a Mobile Gamer. I'm more of a console/PC Gamer. A while back, I used to play games while I was travelling to or from places on the bus, ad breaks, and public places with no WiFI. However, this has changed now as I don't like the small screen size and the controls, it's difficult to play and easy to drop and smash an expensive phone. 

[Official Forum Shop]

What do you think about an official forum shop that allows us to trade our points into PayPal, Gift Cards, Steam and much more?

[If on PC, do you prefer your video games online or you buy the cases?]

Online. My new Gaming Laptop doesn't have a DVD/CD drive so it's digital for me which is a bonus and heres why. You have NO chance of losing the game as it's stored digitally and backed up incase of a data loss however with a physical copy you could lose, damage or break it accidently. Digital Copies are usually cheaper to buy online aswell. 

[Mobile in-app purchases?]

I have never purchased in-app purchases. Why? It's a massive scam especially when you purchased the App with your hard earned cash. Company's will charge you for addons, extras and even to finish the game! IAP and Add pop ups ruin the game are unnecessary to the customer.

[Have you ever been banned?]

Didn't you contact the owner? If you did, what did he say for this situation? This is a really bad thing to happen to a former staff, sorry to hear man.

The Ban History on Pika-Network is here. As you can see I was unbanned by DutchminerHD, but then I got blacklisted once again. The founder is inactive and only ever use to visit the server every few weeks.Yet, regarding my complaint TheBearKingHD replied and closed it and then proceeded to ban me. The complaint was replied by TheBearKingHD! The person who banned me. 

[What are some good games to play on mobile?]

Smash Hit. I'd highly recommend you  give them a try sometime!
 

1. Smash Hit is available for free down load on IOS and Android -- It's a very fun, exciting adventure. The app approaches with a extremply basic concept, breaking glass obstacles to proceed on a path to prevent ball loss which will result in death, blending with smoothing and terrific 3D Graphics with 10 Hard Levels. For more information and reviews, I would suggest you visit the App, Android Store or watch the YouTube Video embed below. That's my opinion of the game.

 

 

[Best screen size for playing?]

For majority of the people and gamers the ideal size ranges from 4.7″ to 5.2″. I find if the screensize is to big to small I struggle to play games on the Android. You also want to make sure the phone is fit for purpose and can fit into your pocket and is portable. Most of my "Mobile Gaming" I do on my tablet. It has a higher storage capacity and an excellent resolution and  has a slightly bigger screen which means it's more suitable than a Mobile Phone.

[Have you ever been banned?]

Worse than banned, blacklisted. I was resigned staff on a Minecraft Server and they gave me a VIP rank to show there recognition.  A few years later a head admin questioned why I have the rank, and removed it. I argued with him through web chat and he banned me from the forum, server and Discord (IP ban!). Never been banned in-game apart from this situation, I don't believe in modding or hacking and I try to follow the server rules so I can continue my enjoyment video gaming.

[How do you distribute your time when playing games?]

-How many video games are you actively playing at any one time? One

-How do you rotate through them? One different video per month and repeat.

-What percentage of your time is dedicated to your favorite games/the same games over and over again? 90 percent Fortnite.

 

I've played nothing but Fortnite for the past 5 weeks because of my bordom! Going to change video games soon, change is good for the mind and mental health. Can always come back to my current favourite PC Game.

[Xbox Game Pass]

I don't, I haven't heard of it before. Sold my Xbox 360 about 3 months ago along with the video games. A couple of months before I sold the console, I invested in a years Xbox Gold which which was a waste of money but always had subscription for aslong I owned the platform (6 years) and it's allowed me to enjoy myself interacting with other online players(so it was worth it). I'm not a Xbox player anymore, PC now! That was a big change for me.

[What upcoming game are you most excited for?]

Indeed, various video games are pending release 18/19. According to search engines, GTA 6 won't be released until the very earliest, 2020. Here are the top 3 parts of Grand Theft Auto 6 I am hoping rockstar will implement when they deliver it to the public:

• Travelling to south america.
• Becoming a Police Officer.
• Be able to enter buildings.

 

[How often do you clean your PC?]

Same here, every couple of months. They soon get dusty and dirty which could have a serious impact on the system. Wiping the screen is essential,  I use specialized cleaning equipment known as screen wipes to clean the screen part of my Laptop. I have a portable hover to suck all the dust, dirt and dog hairs out of my keyboard. Dog hairs are the worst. I don't remove the keys and I don't advise doing so only if you know how to put them back on safely and securely. Finally, I'll use a damp cleaning cloth and wipe down the surface of the Keys, Keypad, and the laptop to remove and grease or dirt. Repeat in a months time!

[Hello there!]

DanTheMan told me about VGR through a promotional forum known as FP. Hope to be a long-time active member on this forum, gaming is one of my favourite hobbies and so is talking about it. A little bit about me, my name is Alexander and I've just turned 18 and I live in the south part of the UK. I have a YouTube channel where I upload gameplays of Fortnite, GTA, Minecraft and various other games. I have just over 2,000 subscribers which I've built up over time.

[Post your specs]

 I'm looking to purchase more games in the next couple of days which include GTA, COD, and various others. Does anyone know the best way to buy these types of video games (.ie, through a website or in-store?) for my personal computer and do you think my platform could handle it?

[Did you receive games as a kid for Christmas?]

This post brings back memories. It was either for my Birthday or for a Christmas. I'm thinking it's a christmas present, my parents decided to buy me my first gaming console (Xbox 360) along with a set of 2-5 games which included GTA 5, the first COD, Forza and various other games. The system must of lasted for 4-6 years and by this time I purchased my very first gaming Laptop which I'm using today. Best gifts as a young person I ever received, made xmas that little bit more special and exciting.

[Last Game Purchased?]

Fortnite. This doesn't classify as a game purchase. One of my real life friends actually told me about this game, so I decided to give it a try. There is no such thing as a "freebie" in this world, Epic Games suck you into virtual reality hoping that you will buy cosmetic(s) skins in the game. Why does the look of your character matter, surely it's your skill and how well you can defeat other players. I play on PC and I'm enjoying as of today but one thing for sure, I won't be sucked in to spending 1000's of dollars to "upgrade your character". It doesn't make a difference.
